On Safari

Have been hunting for a good safari book to orient my 4 & 8 yr old sons before we go on a safari to east Africa. This book was easy to look at for the 4yr old, and pretty easy to read for the 8yr old. (Although he needed help with some words). The illustrations are good & it has great basic information about some of the major animals, as well as sample tracks to look out for. My only negative comments are that two of the animals are not given their more popular names (even in parentheses) so it was hard to match this info up with other books. Also,some major animal types are left out, so that was disappointing. Those are minor gripes though, and on the whole the book is great.
